West Virginia can now boast of having
the two youngest members of the Senate.
Senator Kenna, who was born in 1913, and
is consequently less than forty years of age,
and Senator-elect Faulkner who first saw
light about the year 1916. The only other
Senator who might be classed with these
two in youth, is Spooner, of Wisconsin, who
was born in Lawrenceburg, Ind, in 1913.
And siugularly enough this trio is, in point
of legal and oratorical ability, as strong as
any that could be selected from that body.
